1.2 System Hardware:
The MVP hardware consists of the following three groups of components:
A. Probes, Transducers and Extension Cables – These components are used to measure pressures,
temperatures, fuel flow, volts, amps, fuel levels and many other engine and aircraft system functions. The
analog signals produced by the transducers and probes are routed through the Extension Cables to
various EDC inputs.
B. EDC (Engine Data Converter) – The EDC converts the analog signals from the probes and
transducers to a digital format. This data is transmitted three times per second via a two-wire RS422
cable to the MVP Display. A second EDC may be installed to increase the MVP’s capability.
C. MVP Display – The MVP receives, processes and displays the RS422 EDC data on its TFT color
display. In addition, the MVP receives GPS data, interfaces with the Voice Warning Control Panel and
monitors the external back light control line. Also, the MVP transmits fuel data to the GPS and controls
the external Master Warning Light.
The MVP reduces the number of panel-mounted instruments from around 15 to only 1 and provide 24
annunciators. The EDC reduces the total number of wires routed to the aircraft instrument panel by 100 or more.
1.3 Cleaning the Screen:
The MVP incorporates a flat panel full color TFT display, which should be protected from scratching. The TFT
display should be cleaned using only isopropyl alcohol and a soft cleaning cloth. Individually wrapped lens-cleaning
tissue (used to clean glasses or plastic lenses) works best.
